My way-too-tight layouts for "Unnamed Robot Comic" issue #2, pt.4! (Patreon)

(UPDATE: Here's a link to our previous installment, in case you'd forgotten what the heck was going on in the issue's narrative.)

Behold, pages 15-18 of my layouts for issue #1 of 2004's Marvel mecha-team miniseries Livewires, titled here as "Unnamed Robot Comic" as I'm more than a tad dubious about identifying this series of posts publicly. Keep this to yourselves, won't you? (The joke of using the title "Unnamed Robot Comic", by the way, is that Livewires' mecha protagonists consider the term "robot" to be an offensive slur.)

The final art on the series was done by my old bud Rick Mays, but as you can see I cranked out insanely tight, fully dialogued, Sharpie-and-pencils layout pages for the series ahead of time; not only was this approach a faaaar from cost-effective use of my worktime, but in retrospect I feel that these layouts constricted Rick from drawing the beautiful faces and figure work he produced for other books. (Oh, well.)

NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: I'm gonna try to finish off October with a full week of posts, for the first time in a while. Golly! (Though, alas, you're gonna have to be at the higher Patron tiers to see 'em all.) Not yet sure what order they're gonna be in, howeva. Let's find out together, shall we?
